For unto which of the angels said he at any time, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, because he who has built the house has more honor than the house.

For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh day in this way, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

And in this place again, They shall not enter into my rest.

And for this reason he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

And no man takes this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

And this will we do, if God permits.

For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord swore and will not change, you are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek:)

But this man, because he continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.

Who needs not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: therefore it is of necessity that this man have something also to offer.

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

The Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while the first tabernacle was yet standing:

But Christ being come a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

And for this cause he is the mediator of the new covenant, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they who are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

Saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded unto you.

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;

The Holy Spirit also is a witness to us: for after this he had said before,

This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

But I beseech you rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
